Troy Pulli
Mortgage Market Strategist · Buffalo Mortgage Market Brief
Troy translates bond market movement, mortgage rates, and housing trends into clear, usable intelligence — built for real conversations with real buyers and sellers across Western New York.
The Work
Turning market noise into usable clarity
Most agents hear about rates going up or down. Few know why. That gap causes hesitation, bad advice, and lost deals.
Bond market moves rates
Mortgage rates don’t move because of Fed meetings. They track the 10-year Treasury. Troy monitors that signal daily so you don’t have to.
Agents get confused by noise
Headlines overstate. Social media guesses. The result is agents who hesitate when buyers ask a direct question about rate direction.
Troy simplifies the signal
One clear read on what’s actually happening — no jargon, no hedging. The kind of answer you can use on a call ten minutes later.
The Tool
Built for real deals, not theory
Ask the Market wasn’t built in a vacuum. Every scenario it handles came from a real agent conversation — a buyer call, a listing appointment, a showing where the rate question came up at the worst time.
Speed
No time to overthink it
Agents don’t have 20 minutes to research before a buyer call. They need a clear, confident answer fast. That’s what this is built for.
Local
Built from Buffalo and WNY
Situational
For the agent in the room
Listing appointments. Showings. Buyer consults. For the moment when an agent needs to speak clearly about rates without guessing.
Practical
Real questions, real answers
What an experienced mortgage strategist would tell you if you called right now and described your deal. Grounded, direct, usable.
In Practice
How this gets used in real conversations
Five moments where agents actually use this — not hypothetically, but mid-deal, mid-conversation, when the answer matters right now.
Before a buyer call
“What are rates doing right now?” — Ask the Market gives you a clear, current answer you can actually say out loud. No hedging, no checking three apps.
During a showing
Buyers ask in the moment. A quick pull of Ask the Market during a 5-minute break gives you enough context to keep the conversation grounded and confident.
Explaining rate movement
When a client sees a headline and panics, you need a calm, clear explanation of what actually happened — and why it may or may not affect their deal. That’s exactly what this delivers.
Handling an appraisal gap
Rate context matters when a deal is on the edge. Understanding where rates sit helps you have a sharper, more credible conversation about what the buyer can realistically absorb.
Structuring an offer
Payment estimates shift with rates. Knowing the current environment — and where it might move — helps you guide buyers on offer timing and structure without guessing.
